Vegas 2

    On our second day, we walked to the North end of the strip.  We started at the Bellagio botanical garden.  It was simply gorgeous!  Then we walked to the Paris, Flamingo,Venetian, Palazzo, and Caesar's.   It was the European Soccer cup so the Venetian and Caesar's were packed with Italian people cheering for Italy.  It was really intense and so much fun to watch at their sports book area.  The Paris was gorgeous and their breakfast buffet was amazing!  Too close to pick a favorite hotel today.
     After walking around all day, we went back and got ready to head to dinner and Freemont Street (old Vegas).  Liz and I decided to go ziplining right away.  It was GREAT!  Freemont Street is covered by an LED screen canopy, so we got to zipline under that.  Then we walked around and took in all the sights and took a shot at gambling at the old casinos.  We had much better luck there than in the new part of town.  And the casino's were so much more fun. 
    We watched street performers and ate deep fried oreo's.  Every hour they have a video light show on the canopy.  As the night wore on, the crowd got a little more interesting, but we had a blast.  We may have lost Trent for a little while though ;)  But we got him back.  Freemont Street was my favorite part of the whole vacation.
